    Nauticam Fisheye Conversion Port: detailed review

    I don't think you got an handle on the depth of field disadvantage there is none The WACP has a smaller field of view and normally you don't shoot very close when you shoot close it has the same issues As the lenses do not have the same field of view if you stand on the same point and shoot...

    Hammerheads need cooler water. Unfortunately with the water temperature rising the window gets smaller and smaller Galapagos sharks instead like warm water but don't really have a schooling behaviours they go around in circle at mostly the same depth Malpelo offers many different situations for...

    Trip Report Malpelo January 2024

    After a first summer trip I returned to Malpelo on the trip of 21-30 January. The outbound crossing was tough due to waves hitting the boat on the side. This resulted in most guests having sea sickness. I don’t suffer it myself but I took medication after the first 8 hours bouncing. Once arrived...

    Upgrading - Sony A7RV or Alternatives?

    As first full frame camera in the Sony world to take underwater I would recommend the A7 IV It is robust it has a decent EVF, good ergonomics and all the features you need and can be found now at reasonable prices The A7C series are nice (I have an A7C II) but have limits to sync speed and the...

    Sony RX100MK II vs MK VII

    When Sony made the RX100 mark III it became apparent that this was the end of compact cameras and wet lenses as we knew them till then. Some time later I switched to Panasonic, the slow sync speed of Sony APSC has been a deterrent for me to embrace the A6XXX series. Canon still had a camera...

    A comprehensive travel blog for Malpelo Island

    I bought the tickets with Avianca with the no refund but flexible change. This sorts out any eventuality really as the boat arrives in Buenaventura the night before.

    A comprehensive travel blog for Malpelo Island

    I had my flight at 1800 and made it with plenty of time. The bus can arrive between 1130 to 1200. If you jump straight in a cab is 30-45 minutes so you are really tight for international but domestic check in is quick and easy If you are adamant on that flight you can also arrange a transfer...

    Nikon Z9 review i. nautical housing on DPReview
